Illuminating Light of Palestine
You illuminate the world, its temples, it's raison d'etre. You are the the third world's tree, you embolden their resolve. Without you, the post-apartheid banquet would be a mess. In my thoughts you are present at all my dreams. In the gardens, in the forest, in the pasture. All my paths passes through your groves. The angels collect your tears like...

When tears stream down and burdens weigh, Gratitude light keeps despair at...

Darkness descends, And the destination lies far behind God! Let the fire that burns in you eternal , Which is the only true fire, Light up my eyes to perceive the right from the wrong, The genuine from the sham. I ask Thee, blaze my spirit with your fire So that I get the prudence to escape the snares Laid by...

God's Illuminating Wisdom
Sometimes, I feel like a running brook and in midstream there is a boulder, that I am forced to flow around, yet I know the true force of the current that keeps me flowing and it is inevitable of serenity. Even now while in my wintry solstice there is still a desire for God's brilliant and...

Our Love That Once Rivaled Illuminating Sun Was your light dead, its glow destroyed by dark Your eyes blinded, and our romance cast aside: Twas this, dark thought of loss, that I have died, That you dared to treat our great love as a lark, In your longing heart that my soul did deep entwine Each one of its chambers I...
